Well...

I have been hearing around about past nukes and such stuff. Just thinking instead of deleting all those threads why just not move them to a different section where only mods and admins can view not normal members. That way the post count of the members don't diminish. Maybe call that section no mans land. Just a though unless you already have something similar to it.

Post count is only diminished by an actual delete - hard or soft, or by merging threads. The merging-thread is shown in Misc. Series. Most of the time, post counts *don't* go down because we don't actually delete threads, which is why we have people with thousands of posts hanging around.
